For me, I have had to teach myself to stop explaining all of my actions (and the reasons behind my actions/decisions) to others...
my JW indoctrination had me giving way too much information to everyone because I felt I needed to- so I could be properly punished/counseled if I was on a wrong course
Now that I realize that what I do with my life is my own business and I don't have to explain it to those it doesn't concern, I feel quite liberated!
When my mom asks too many questions I do not wan't to answer- I don't...and I don't feel guilty about it anymore-
